I'm trying to buy a sim online but I have an American zip code, which has no letters in it. Can I circumvent that through y'all?
UPDATE I got a prepaid credit card and it worked just fine. This service is great. Thanks for the suggestions 🧡🧡

Contact a CSA.
Public Mobile currently accepts credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express), Visa debit, and MasterCard debit cards issued by Canadian or American financial institutions that are associated with addresses in Canada or the U.S.

Do you have an account working here and you just need a sim for a replacement or referral? Or you're new? The sign up payment does not take American cards. Afterwards the account will. But where and how are you trying to buy the sim?

HI @BKNS27
actually PM accepts US Credit card, too
https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/bc/get-help/articles/update-or-remove-your-payment-card
but yes, the postal code field now could be a problem

Sorry, I recall that PM will only accept Canadian CC but go on Amazon.ca and get one there for $4.99cdn which would be about $3.60usd.

@Taye you may need a Canadian issued bank card , think American Express will work not sure if the others thou . Also you can use a ore paid visa should work too

HI @Taye
yes, the zip code would be a problem
you can however use your US CC to buy a voucher from Shoppers drug mart and load the voucher using *611 or My Account. But voucher is free
you can also buy a Prepaid credit card (with fees) and add it to your My Account, you can use any valid Canadian postal code for prepaid credit card
